There's another blurb on a site I can't remember, but I'm sure someone
else can supply it, which went on in detail how the NVidia driver
mangles some of the files in X to suit itself, and only itself.  Rather
than configure X for NVidia (as the Livna RPM does).

For anybody with more than one graphic card, or who intends to use
another card at some time, that's going to be an important thing.
